Agnes Fuchs construes parts of a (her) work-archive into a re-enactment, an experimental intermedial test arrangement of objects, images, presentations, and examples, from surfaces and structures of a world of measurement technologies, machines, equipment, and symbolic descriptions. This test arrangement, as an archive of materials and objects describe translations on different medial levels. A cycle of references and feedback readability is created. Fuchs is interested in systems of representation of science and technology as well as in the casual-exact placement and testing of the symbolic order of these images and methods. In this “setting,” this laboratory of observation, the artist is not only translator and observer but also object of observation herself. David Komary writes in About Systems and Instruments, Vienna 2007: “In her paintings and installations, Agnes Fuchs reflects on the visual-ontological status of scientific strategies of visualization and representation. In observations of the second and third order she analyzes the permutations of the symbolic order in the interference and interdependence of the technical image regime.
